Dynamic observation of ac field induced twin boundary motion in bulk NiMnGa — •Ryan Yiu Wai Lai, Jeffrey McCord, Rudolf Schaefer, and Ludwig Schultz — Leibniz-Institute for Solid State and Materials Research, P.O.Box 270116, Dresden D-01171, Germany

A study of actuating performance in bulk NiMnGa magnetic shape memory single crystals at various frequencies is presented. A dynamic actuation experimental setup with the ability to apply mechanical stress and alternating magnetic field perpendicularly is developed in cooperation with time-resolved microscopy. Reversible twin boundary motion activated in the frequency range up to 600Hz is directly observed. The maximum field induced strain increases with actuation frequency. Strain hysteresis curves show a pronounced dependency on actuation frequency. The mechanism of the frequency response will be discussed in detail. Funding through the DFG priority program SPP1239 is gratefully acknowledged.
